We're using BtSync on 3 laptops + 1 server 2 of the devices run it in Linux with integrated HDD, 1 MBA with external HDD formatted as exFAT and one Windows 8.1 laptop with external HDD with exFAT. All devices work great together except Windows 8.1. It used to work when the files were on the local NTFS-formatted HDD, but with the external exFAT HDD BtSync shortly after starting (~2min) stops syncing files. the CPU (Sandy Bridge Core i3) runs with 20-30% but HDD and Network usage go down to 0% and the BtSync application isn't responding anymore. I've checked the debug flag and when I change files in the folder, I receive an OnNotifyFileChange, but I couldn't find any error except many lines like: ... SF[49E9]: Torrent FILE_NAME status:137 error:<NULL> meta:1 conns:1 io:0 FILE_NAME is the actual file name, but "<NULL>" is literally written there. Any ideas what the error could be or how to fix it? I've tried reinstalling BtSync, installing an older version, as well as I'm running the latest version right now, but still getting the same problem - it just doesn't work.

Hi, great tool and works simply when running with root privileges, just it's impossible to start it in a different mode. This is my config, and as you can see, I would like it to run with www-data privileges //!/usr/lib/btsync/btsync-daemon --config // // DAEMON_UID=www-data // DAEMON_GID=www-data // // Default instance automatically created by debconf // // DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY // // use dpkg-reconfigure btsync to modify the // configuration // // { "device_name": "My-Server", "storage_path" : "/var/lib/btsync", "listening_port" : 0, "check_for_updates" : false, "use_upnp" : false, "download_limit" : 0, "upload_limit" : 0, "disk_low_priority" : true, "lan_encrypt_data" : true, "lan_use_tcp" : false, "rate_limit_local_peers" : false, "folder_rescan_interval" : 600, "webui" : { "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888", "login" : "peter", "password" : "top-secret" } } when trying to start, it just doesn't start but also doesn't say anything useful in the log-file, just but this is what I get - when running in normal mode, with the same config: root@ks36528:/etc/btsync# ps aux | grep btsync root 5891 0.1 0.0 124920 1788 ? Ssl 01:48 0:00 /usr/lib/btsync/btsync-daemon --config debconf-default.conf root 5947 0.0 0.0 10372 892 pts/0 S+ 01:49 0:00 grep btsync i've changed the owner of all btsync-* files in /usr and similar to www-data so I'm quite puzzled how else to solve this, any ideas? thx

Hi, this question might sound weird at first so some background about me: I study a Master in Distributed Computing in my second semester. We have one lecture about different distributed systems and overlay networks where we basically read papers, discuss the technologies and present new things. I wanted to have my presentation about BitTorrent Sync because I believe that it would interest my course mates and our professor. We have been already talking about BitTorrent as such and (Live)Streaming over BitTorrent, so this topic would fit. However I couldn't find any more materials except - Info/Get Started/Technology - on the website. Do you maybe have any more detailed documentation on how the system works, or do you know about some paper published about it, ...? Thank you very much Cheers
